The New York Rangers have recalled Chris Mueller from Hartford of the AHL.

Mueller was recalled to play center as coach Alain Vigneault wants to move Martin St. Louis back to his natural wing spot. Mueller had one goal in his only game with Hartford and is expected to be in the Rangers lineup Sunday. Sat, Oct 18, 2014 07:47:00 AM

Derick Brassard had two assists in a 4-1 victory against Nashville on Monday.

Brassard has 13 goals and 50 points in 60 games this season. He's already set a new career-high in points and doesn't appear to be slowing down as we get into the final stretch of the 2014-15 campaign.

J.T. Miller scored for the Rangers in their 4-2 win over the Flyers on Saturday night.

Miller played one of his more impressive games, even getting moved up to the top line with Rick Nash and Derick Brassard for a short time. He had four shots on goal in 12:14, and now has six goals and 14 points this season. John Moore also scored his first of the year.

He took part in the morning skate and coach Alain Vigneault confirmed that the high-scoring winger would play against Arizona after he sat out Tuesday's game with neck spasms. Nash ranks second in the NHL with 37 goals and he has 58 points in 58 games.

Chris Kreider was one of four New York Rangers to score goals in the team's 4-1 win over the visiting Nashville Predators Monday night.

Kreider's goal was his 17th of the season. The left winger also fired three shots on net. Keith Yandle, Marc Staal and Dominic Moore also scored for New York, their sixth and seventh goals of the season, respectively. With 44 seconds remaining in the third period, Rick Nash notched his 38th goal of the season into an empty net. Mats Zuccarello, who earlier Monday signed a reported four-year contract extension with Zuccarello worth $18 million, picked up two assists for the Rangers. Ditto for Derick Brassard. Zuccarello now has 25 assists on the season; Brassard, 37.

Carl Hagelin found the back of the net in a 6-3 win against Colorado Thursday night.

Hagelin is now on a modest three-game point streak. He has 12 goals and 24 points in 53 contests in 2014-15. We wouldn't be shocked if he flirts with his career-high of 38 points, but we doubt he'll do much more than that.

James Sheppard's New York Ranger debut will have to wait on Monday night against the Predators.

Sheppard was acquired by the Rangers Sunday evening from the Sharks for a fourth round pick in 2016 but will not dress Monday night. The 26-year-old forward will most likely be a bottom-six forward for the Rangers and won’t carry any fantasy value. He has five goals and nine assists in 57 games this season. Jesper Fast will return from injury to take Sheppard's anticipated spot.

Martin St. Louis scored two goals in the Rangers' 4-3 shootout win over Columbus.

St. Louis extended New York's lead to 2-0 and 3-0 before the Blue Jackets stormed back with three unanswered goals of their own. After going four straight games without a point earlier this month, the 39-year-old has seven points in his last five games. St. Louis also added a goal in the shootout. He has 18 goals and 44 points in 58 games this season.

Jesper Fast (knee) will return to the Rangers lineup Monday night against the Predators.

Fast has been out since February 7th due to a knee injury but will be back in the lineup Monday night when the Rangers host Nashville. Fast has limited fantasy value but is an underrated real-life hockey player and will add a lot of value to the Rangers bottom six forwards. He has three goals and six assists in 37 games this year. Newly acquired James Sheppard will not be able to dress Monday so the lineup remains unchanged except for Fast being inserted.

Kevin Hayes will be bumped back to the third line Thursday night when the Rangers play Arizona.

He will play between Carl Hagelin and J.T. Miller after he replaced Rick Nash on the top line during a 1-0 win over Calgary this past Tuesday. Hayes scored the only goal of the match to give him 27 points in 56 games. Nash will be back Thursday night. Hayes has six goals and 10 points in 12 contests during the month of February.

Defenseman Keith Yandle turned in an effective debut with the New York Rangers Monday night as he and his new team defeated the visiting Nashville Predators 4-1.

Yandle, traded along with Chris Summers from Arizona Sunday for Anthony Duclair, John Moore, and two draft choices, logged 19:41 of ice time against the Preds. Despite not having a chance to practice with the Rangers, Yandle made good decisions with the puck, got three shots on net and had one steal. He was given time alongside both Kevin Klein and Dan Boyle.

The defenseman has a goal and two assists in his last three games to give him 13 points in 54 games with a plus-15 rating and 38 penalty minutes. Not exactly a difference maker in fantasy hockey but he may help you in very deep leagues.

Kevin Klein is on a four game points streak as he chipped in with two assists on Saturday.

Klein has five helpers in his last four games as he tied a career high in points with 23. He has eight goals this season with a plus-21 rating and deserves to be part of most fantasy rosters at this time.

Matt Hunwick will be out as a healthy scratch Monday night versus Nashville.

Hunwick had been splitting time with John Moore this season, but with the Rangers sending Moore and others to the Coyotes in exchange for Keith Yandle, who is expected to suit up Wednesday, Hunwick will find himself in the press box more often. On the season he recorded eight assists in 40 games played and was not a fantasy factor, so this shouldn’t change much in the fantasy world.

Goalie Cam Talbot made 25 saves to help the New York Rangers beat the visiting Nashville Predators 4-1 Monday night.

Talbot was making his fifth consecutive start for the Rangers. He also has started 13 of the past 14 New York games in the absence of star first-stringer Henrik Lundqvist, who's been out with a vascular injury to his neck. Talbot is now sporting a record of 13-6-3 with a 2.45 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage. There's nothing wrong with having Talbot as your fantasy goalie, especially in one-day leagues. He'll help more often than hurt.

Skapski collects his first NHL win in his first start. The 20-year-old is getting an opportunity to play because Henrik Lundqvist is out with an injury and Cam Talbot needed a breather after starting eight consecutive games. Skapski, 20, was the Rangers' sixth round pick in 2013. He got off to a rocky start after he allowed a goal in the opening minute of Friday's game, but he settled down nicely the rest of the way. He isn't worth owning in standard or dynasty leagues going forward.
